Promotional Items

A study published by L.J. Market Research indicates that 52% of respondents did business with an advertiser after receiving a promotional item. That’s more than half! Additionally, people hang on to these items, sometimes for years. How much benefit would that bring to your organization, having your logo on someone’s desk and in multiple individuals’ line of sight many times per day, every day, for years?

Browse our user-friendly website to get some ideas and then call us at 410.685.2679 or email Lisa@curryprint.com. We can get you up-to-date cost and time estimates for your projects. We have a stable of reliable, high quality and professional manufacturers that only work directly with dealers like us to provide hundreds of thousands of goodwill-generating branded products for your next marketing effort, human resources drive, or special event giveaway!

Ordering promotional items on your own can be much more difficult that it might appear. Trying to save money by ordering promotional items yourself with an online vendor might actually end up costing much more, in time, aggravation, errors, re-dos and missed deadlines. Don’t leave to chance some faceless online company missing your important deadline while you try to save a couple of dollars! Let us manage the process seamlessly and effortlessly for you, while you concentrate on your job and what you do best. Let our on-staff experts here at Curry Printing handle the intricacies, details, hidden traps, and secret tricks for you when getting your organization’s promotional products.

We even take some of the programs that other printers sometimes complain about (not us, though!), such as Publisher, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

Do you need some professional advice regarding your layout, style or other specifications? No problem! We can consult with you to make the most of your own creative talents. Do you require a professional to handle the entire project, from concept to design, all the way to printing, but don’t want to pay those high agency prices? That is where we shine!

Call our talented design staff today at 410.685.2679 to set up a free consultation about your graphic design project or email us at info@curryprint.com. We do it right, fast and professionally, all within your budget.

Logo Design

Your company's logo connects with your clients and prospects in a quiet but very powerful way. Often, your logo is the first impression people have about your company, and the feeling they get at first glance may determine their future interest in working with you.

You are a professional company, you need a professional brand. Our creative team of designers would love to work with you to refine or recreate a brand identity for your company that is sure to send the right message.

Proofreading

Misspellings, ineffective punctuation and embarrassing grammatical errors can damage your credibility and hurt your professional image. Even though software spellcheckers catch many simple mistakes, having proofreaders like the professionals at Curry Printing will provide that keen eye and expert understanding of proper English grammar and usage.

The Curry "grammar police" are meticulous in what they do. Whether editing a multi-page brochure or reviewing a single-page letter, we make sure our customers look their best before we go to press.

Our latest color digital equipment is so good, so fast, so versatile, and so reasonably priced, that you have to give it a try.

We can produce your jobs so fast, with such good quality and sharp prices, that you’ll be wondering why you tried to do it yourself in the first place. Give us a call at 410.685.2679 and we can show you the cost savings you need to let us produce your next color digital job.

B/W Digital Duplication

When the occasion arises that you need your copies in a hurry, the high speed capabilities of our equipment are up to the task. Legal and box work is also a cinch. We’ve done it for over 35 years. Nothing can compete with the confidence that stands behind the experience, expertise and professionalism that our reprographics team brings to each and every job.

Debossing & Embossing

Debossing works the same as embossing, except the surface of the page is recessed, rather than raised. The processes involve the same types of dies and takes place on a letterpress.

Debossing and embossing can be used as distinctive touches for "showpieces" such as announcements, invitations, business cards, and stationery. Additionally, they can be found in brochures, annual reports, and any other printed piece you want to "pop."

Embossing involves pressing paper between specially-cast metal dies attached to a letterpress. The result is a raised impression on the page that matches the design of the die.

Embossing dies can range from very simple shapes with flat, smooth surfaces all the way to more intricate creations with contours, depth, and elaborate detail. The result always is a crisp, elegant effect that looks great on any printed piece.

Die Cutting

Some printing projects require a nice, straight cut along the edge of the page, while others, need curved cuts, odd-shaped cuts, fancy cuts, or internal cuts. When your design calls for a specialty or unusual cut, call on the experts at Curry Printing.

We can handle any cutting need. With access to state-of-the-art die-cutting equipment, we'll work hard to ensure the perfect cut every time. You can choose from hundreds of specialty dies, or have one custom-made to your own specifications.

Ideas for die-cutting services:

Table tents

Door hangers

Die-cut postcards

Rounded corners

Keyhole cuts

And more

Foil Stamping

Have you been looking for a unique and shiny way to spice up your printing? Consider adding a foil-stamped line, logo, or other design element to your printed page. Use foil stamping to spiff up your stationery, letterhead, business cards, booklet covers, report covers, and presentation folders.

Our foil stamping equipment uses heat to apply a thin layer of metal foil to a sheet of paper. Gold, silver, and a variety of other colors are available. Let the experts at Curry help you choose the right foil or combination of foils, as well as the right placement on the page, to give your piece the perfect look and feel.

Booklet Binding

Plastic coil binding, sometimes called spiral binding, is a commonly used mechanical binding style for creating documents, reports, presentations, and proposals. Known variously as spiral coil, color coil, ez-coil, plastic coil, spiral binding, plastikoil and coilbind, documents bound with this way have the ability to open flat on the desk or table and offer 360° rotation for easier note-taking. Durable and strong, this binding method is can be used for mailed documents. Curry offers spiral-coil-bound spines in many colors and sizes.

Plastic comb binding is another way to secure pages into a book. This method utilizes round plastic spines, 19 rings, and a hole puncher that makes matching holes. Comb binding sometimes referred to as spiral-comb binding, has a large variety of different-sized combs and comes in a variety of different colors to enhance the appearance of your book or manual.

Wire binding, another popular commercial bookbinding is also known by a number of different names, including spiral notebook binding, twin loop wire, wire-o, and double loop wire. Wire-bound materials can look extremely creative when a colorful wire is used.

Perfect binding provides a result similar to that of a paperback book. At Curry, we get many requests to bind software manuals, instruction manuals, and many varieties of soft-covered books using perfect binding. We print the heavy-duty covers separately and attach them at the spine with a strong, flexible glue. We then trim the books on three sides to make them look clean and professional.

Stapling is one of the simplest – and most cost effective – methods of binding available. In addition to stapling loose sheets together through the front of the page, we can saddle-stitch (staple through the spine) magazines and other multi-page items such as catalogs, annual reports, and newsletters. Saddle-stitching is a sturdy, durable, and attractive binding option. The number of pages our saddle-stitching equipment can bind together varies depending on the weight of the paper used, but the results are the same every time: nice, clean, and professional.

Folding

When you need high-speed folding, you've come to the right place. Curry's bindery/finishing department provides dozens of different options for folding. Our super fast folders can fold at speeds exceeding 5,000 sheets per hour. If a standard fold isn't what you are looking for, we also offer several hand-folding options for more unique folding jobs.

Laminating

At Curry, we help you prolong the life of your printed projects.

Enables your projects to withstand moisture

Increases durability

Preserves colors

And protects your projects from fingerprints, abrasions, and smudges.

Laminating also has the power to revolutionize your presentations by allowing for hassle-free display of your documents under many conditions. Plus, the glossy finish really makes your piece pop.

Collating

Collating is the process of gathering individual sheets and other elements of your printing project and assembling those elements into a final product.

Copiers can collate automatically, but did you know that we can quickly and efficiently collate other items, too? Our high-speed collating equipment can bring together all the elements of your project, saving you the time it would take to hand-collate the project. The next time you have a big project that requires collating, keep us in mind - we make it so easy, you'll never want to hand-collate again.

Cutting

Curry has very sophisticated, computerized, and large digital paper cutters that are extremely fast and accurate.

Hole Drilling

It may sound strange, but here at Curry, we're experts at drilling holes. We have powerful hydraulic paper drilling machines feature many different sizes of drill bits and enable us to position the hole just about anywhere on the sheet of paper. Fun Fact: allow 1/2 an inch of extra margin for three-hole drilling along the side of your sheets of paper.

Numbering

Many carbonless forms and invoices require sequential numbering. Numbering is an inexpensive and effective way to maintain accurate records and improve organization.

We can number a variety of papers and sheet sizes. Choose from black or red ink, as well as descending or ascending numbers on most printed projects.

Perforating

Perforating a printed piece can make an easy-to-remove response card, coupon, or customer feedback form.

Curry's wide variety of perforating blades gives you flexibility when designing pieces that need to separate easily. We can also design pieces that can stand up to the challenges of post office mailing equipment without coming apart.

Our highly trained and knowledgeable staff will happily offer suggestions and solutions for all of your perforating needs.

Shrink Wrapping

At Curry, we use high-quality shrink wrap materials to provide you with a secure and attractive method of storing quantities of printed materials. Our process uses semi-automatic equipment to meet demands while ensuring the best quality.

Postal Presorting

Because we are doing the work "for" USPS, presorted mail is faster and easier for the USPS to process. The Postal Service charges us, and you, less postage. Whether it's first-class or standard mail, we secure low postage rates.

Inkjet addresses

Personalization plays a key role in your direct mail marketing campaigns success. After we print your mailer, we can personalize it for you as we address it, all in one easy step.

Curry can do address labels, barcodes and live stamps. Our equipment can print on just about any surface, including coated papers designed to withstand the brutality of automated Postal Service sorting equipment. Let Curry Printing handle all facets of your mailing job.

Inserting

From simple, one-page letters in an envelope to multi-piece marketing kits, Curry Printing can put it all together for you fast and accurately. While our high-speed automatic inserters allow us to handle very large projects. We've also perfected an accurate and fast method of hand insertion for those projects which are not machineable.

Post Office Delivery

When your mailing is completed, you are welcome to pick it up at Curry's office, or we can take it directly to the post office for you, saving you the hassle. We are experts at completing the complicated and confusing USPS paperwork, and we have a ton of experience working with the bulk mail departments at the post office. We strongly suggest you allow us to work with the post office on your behalf. We can save you a lot of time and likely frustration. Allow us to handle your mailing project from concept to post office delivery. Curry offers a is a smooth, one-step process that saves you time, money, and stress.

Postage Discounts

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers significant discounts for volume business mailings as well as nonprofit organizations. These discounts apply to many types of business mail and can reduce the cost of postage.

When you work with Curry, a mailing services specialist, often you can be sure we'll help get the best possible rates given your time deadlines.

Unlike standalone mailing houses, Curry is unique because we have the ability to take your mailing piece from design all the way through delivery to the post office. Does it make sense to have your mailing project designed at one place, printed somewhere else, and then mailed at a third place? Curry can save you significant time and bother when you let us manage the entire print and mail process.

To learn more about postage discounts and designing an effective mailer, visit the USPS's helpful Business Mail 101 resource page.

Tab Sealing

Tabs, (we at Curry call them wafer seals), are often a USPS requirement that should be applied to all self-mailers. Wafer seals prevent the open sides of your mailer from jamming the Postal Service's high-speed processing equipment. Our mailing department can apply one, two, or three tab seals easily as part of our mail processing capabilities. Choose clear plastic, paper, or customized tabs to set your design apart.

e-commerce function

Document Library

The document library is our term for the set of online order forms unique to your company or to specific departments or branches within your organization. Each item represents a specific printed piece. For example, if you have 10 different printed forms that get used throughout your company, you'd have 10 separate document library items set up - one for each form. Document libraries make it easy to order, track, and inventory your most frequently used printed items.
